Man Utd ‘in shock transfer for Chelsea flop Morata’ and Atletico Madrid ready to sell for £30m

MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea flop Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid.

The 29-year-old Spaniard has been on loan at Italian giants Juventus for the past two seasons.

In 92 games, he scored 32 times for the Old Lady.

Morata also had two seasons with Premier League side Chelsea, where he scored 16 league goals in 47.

However, his mentality was questioned by then-manager Maurizio Sarri.

And according to The Athletic, Morata is a ‘real possibility’ for Man Utd desperate to strengthen their attacking line.

Erik ten Hag is absent from the forward department while Anthony Martial misses the league opener through injury.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s uncertain future also occupied much of the summer.

Midfielder Christian Eriksen instead started up front for the Red Devils in their first-day defeat by Brighton.

Morata is thought to be available for just £29million but a loan isn’t out of the question.

Mauro Icardi is also an option for the Red Devils.

Wife and agent Wanda Nara has been contacted by the Red Devils about a possible transfer.

Icardi can’t cost United much with Argentina’s excess of demands at Paris Saint-Germain.
